Mines in Tyrol

Quite a few Tyrolean regions owe their early prosperity to the mining of salt, silver and ore. Today, the mines are all disused - only in Jochberg is copper still being mined by 4 miners - but those with a thirst for knowledge and history will find real gold mines underground.
    • PlaceSchwaz

A journey into the past and at the same time a "cool" mountain adventure of a special kind: In the Schwaz silver mine, you take the mine train 800 meters deep into the mountain to discover a fascinating world of tunnels and shafts in what was once the largest silver mine in Europe - at a constant 12° Celsius. Good luck!
